After facing a rain of bouncing boulders the size of Volkswagens, an exploding whale forty years in the making, and the worst latte in the history of the world, Jackson Poe no longer believes in coincidence. Someone wants him dead.
Taking a break from his free— far more often than he’d like —lance writing career, Poe finds himself on assignment to the Surfland, Oregon, tourism bureau, where the director seems to do everything possible to kill Poe and business. So Poe teams up with a tchotchke-loving cyber geek, a barista with a wicked fastball and a narcoleptic dog in a race against time and escalating explosives as Poe fights to save his town, the coffee shop he loves, and his own skin.
The BEACH is BACK, and so is America’s wettest, weirdest town, as a rain of mystery and hilarity falls once more.
“Oregon’s answer to Carl Hiaasen and Dave Barry.” —Sheldon McArthur, North by Northwest Books
“A non-stop laugh you cannot put down.” —Sheldon McArthur, North by Northwest Books, on The Beach is Back
Barton Grover Howe is an award-winning writer, humor columnist, stand-up comedian and performer who has spends his days finding the humor in life or making it up—sometimes both.

He lives in a small town on the Oregon coast within shouting distance of Surfland with his incredibly patient wife and exasperatingly adorable daughter.
